Welcome to our consultancy & support session!
We’re glad you’ve reached out. Whether you’re here to strengthen your holistic security, address team challenges, or navigate ethical dilemmas in your activism, this guide outlines what to expect from the consultancy process, how we work, and how we protect your privacy and safety throughout.
🎯 Our consultancy approach
We approach consultancy as a space for critical reflection, problem-solving, and strategy building. We don’t assume we have all the answers. Instead, we ask the right questions to help you uncover what’s most relevant, sustainable, and ethical for your own context. We guide the process by helping you:
- Clarify your priorities and values
- Identify the structural or strategic roots of your challenges
- Understand possible risks and implications
- Reflect on decisions that protect both people and principles
Whether you’re seeking help with a security incident, internal conflict, strategic choices, or burnout, our approach centres around two key ideas:
- Asking grounded, strategic questions that help you find your own best path
- Providing relevant, context-aware resources to support implementation
When useful, we also provide concrete tools, examples, and templates, from security plans to decision-making protocols, so you can adapt proven methods to your own situation. These materials are carefully selected, relevant, and designed for activists and non-profit actors.
🛠️ Tools and platforms we use
- Google Meet for secure online sessions
- Signal for coordination (disappearing messages: 1 day or 1 week depending on risk)
- Proton Drive for post-session documents or sensitive materials
- Secure forms (if needed) to gather input in advance
All communication channels are chosen based on your risk level and preference.
🙋♀️ What we ask from you
To make the most of the consultancy, we ask that you:
- Be as transparent as possible about your needs and concerns
- Share relevant background information ahead of time, securely
- Inform us in advance if you have security risks, time constraints, or internal challenges that we should know
- Engage actively and honestly during the session – we’re here to support, not to judge
If you are requesting consultancy for a group or organisation, we encourage you to designate a focal point who can help coordinate the session and follow-up.
